Proficient Removals strongly suggests that you consider taking out insurance as an extra measure to protecting your goods as they will be exposed to a higher risk of loss/damage than when they are inside your home.
Usually they do not, but by all means check your policy wording, contact your Insurer to find out.
Proficient Removals leaves that decision up to you. If you decide to insure only specific items, anything that is not on the list will unfortunately not be covered.
Whilst we haven’t assessed your individual circumstances we generally recommend that clients take out Full Cover and Insure their goods for Replacement Cost. This means that you have the broadest coverage against the risks of loss or damage and you would receive new of old in most circumstances (unless your goods are more than 7 years old).
If you choose replacement cover, you need to estimate the cost of replacing your goods with new goods of similar type and quality. If you choose market value cover, then you need to estimate the amount that you would be likely to receive fro your goods if you sold them. You can either provide us with a figure or the total value of your goods or you can use your Insurance Declaration to identify and value your goods.
